Dear .Cir-An editorial app-died in the
columns of the u, morrnt last Saturday,
entitled What Olght to be Done -
Allow the writer to suggest a few things.
Foremost of all would be, that editors
should realize the, ir responsibility to so
ciety, and weigh we'll the probable effect
oi their words before putting them IN
print and scattering them broadcast
What is the probable effect OF such an
article" Cp,n those good citizens"
of whom the article says SO much, at
least upon that portion of the body polite
accustomed to draw subtle distinctions,
to reason accurately, and to be governed
only by reason and never by appetite,
probably the effect will he nit But upon
those who are not thus governed, who
desire excuse for the gains of liquor sell
ing and for the indulgence of the drink
appetite, what is likely to be the effect OF
words like these: II Is anybody con
demned or outlawed because he does II It
become an intormer against Mr.. Confer :?
Why, to do SO would be an act of pertdy
Gaser than to disre ard any merely pro-
hibitory law" Nay not such wolds en-
courage witnesses, not volunteer inform.

selves on the witness Staud? VIII not
Offenders infer that where covetousness

forbidden it. merely btcausc that traffic

and the man who buys of him and tells
the truth when brought into courG is
guilty of greater wrong than the breach
OF any law not mentioned in the Bible
would be? Moreover, is it quite right to
characterize prosecution as having
failed, when at no time more than two of
the jury refused to say the accused was
guilty, when the offender still languishes
III jail awaiting another trial. And is it
the part of good citizen to proclaim on
such grounds the failure of the law, and
say nothing about the fact that several
offenders were convicted, besides at least
one party fleeing the county to avoid
trial?
Moreover. the reasoning of immature
minds from such an article is likely to be
and it does not answer this to point out
in the beginning OF the article, "As a law
on the statute books it is, we insist. enti-
tied to the observance of all good citi
zenS, for ''the latter end of his speech
sadly forgets the beginning g''-the reason
ing OF such minds is likely to be, 1t is
not morally wrong to break a law that

tr"ry to morals is upon the statute book,
